Spontaneous self-embedding of three-dimensional SiGe islands
It is shown that, under appropriate conditions, high-Ge-concentration coherent three-dimensional SiGe islands grown on Si(100) self-embed in a matrix of a low-Ge-concentration alloy. The process may b...

Piezoelectric polarization associated with dislocations in wurtzite GaN
The piezoelectric polarization and its associated charge density are calculated for edge, screw, and mixed dislocations oriented parallel to the c axis in wurtzite GaN. It is shown that the polarizati...

We report the lateral epitaxial overgrowth of GaN films on (00.1) Al2O3 and (111) Si substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The lateral epitaxial overgrowth on Si substrates was possible after achieving quasimonocrystalline GaN template films on (111) Si substrates. X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy were used to assess the quality of the lateral epitaxial overgrown films. Lateral growth rates more than five times as high as vertical growth rates were achieved for both lateral epitaxial overgrowths of GaN on sapphire and silicon substrates. ©1999 American Institute of Physics.
